Popis:	This investigation explored the utility of the health locus of control construct in predicting the mental health quality of life (MHQOL) ratings of 72 Latinos living with HIV/AIDS. After controlling for patient CD4 count, viral load, time since diagnosis, Physical Health Quality of Life and acculturative status, Powerful Others Locus of Control beliefs accounted for a significant increment of the variance in Mental Health Quality of Life. In a similar model, Internal Locus of Control failed to predict MHQOL. Discussion and implications highlight how cultural considerations may broaden investigations of health among diverse, minority populations.
